Martin Baker on freighter!
 
Sound a bit expensive, not practical and a second hand thought but why don't they provide freighter airplane with martin baker?

Cost to benefit ratio probably. The chances of a modern civil aircraft going down is very low. Even most military tankers/freighters don't have ejection seats. Military bombers do, such as the B-2 and B-1 (seats or pod, depending on model), but they fly a different type of profile.

Besides, considering the girth of some flight deck occupants on non-fighter aircraft - how big an ejection charge can you fit on one of these ? :}
